How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewRelaxed, near river, in an area with not so much available
Price is too steep for a rather normal ranch in not such a hard to reach location

Verified reviewIt was nice to see different birds on the river (inc hyacinth macaques and toucans) from what we had seen in 2-3 days at Porto Jofre. Also, offering a free boat ride or vehicle safari is a great idea. The boat trip was a bit tame after going out at PJ but enjoyable nonetheless.
Food was ok, but not as good as at the other pousada we stayed in in Porto Jofre. We were kept waiting a long time for our room key, in blazing heat, even though rooms were available.

Verified reviewI will never return to this place for 3 reasons: 1- Owner lady embarrassed my girlfriend just because she entered the restaurant with her bikini top on. 2- they very few options for dinner. 3- For breakfast, in their few options of meals, the white cake was burned, the carrot cake wasn’t prepared well, the foods in general wasn’t tasty at all. It was complained for the manager and nothing was done about it. I am so disappointed! I expected better from this place.

Verified reviewLovely location. Comfortable rooms. Good food.
Because I booked with booking.com I had to pay extra for the tours which was disappointing. My advice is to book this pousada directly and then all the tours are included.

Verified reviewThe Pousada is next to a beautiful river about two hours into the Pantanal. The food buffet is delicious, the pool offers cooldown during the midday heat and the best part is the tours offered by the guides. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

Verified reviewExcursions from the lodge to view wildlife were good. Staff are friendly, particularly Wende the Manager and Benedict the guide.
The restaurant was not up to lodge standard. It was more like a canteen. The food was ordinary. Attention to detail was poor. For example our superior room patio door would not lock, the bathroom door handle fell off repeatedly. The area immediately surrounding the lodge was a dry desert of over grazing by farm animals, although the lodge gardens were lush and well tended.

Verified reviewGood location set next to a river. The boat tour was great - especially for first time tourist. They feed the caiman and hawk. Horseback riding was also nice. Food better than expected. Nice staff and friendly tour guides. Good (but not great) animal sightings - especially in the morning (cardinals, a pair of fox, Mutum, Tuiuius). Lots of caiman. Near the parking area is a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset (bring repellent). Nice area to play snooker and foosball.
The variety of wildlife overall was a bit underwhelming. We saw very little on the night tour (2 foxes). Boat tour is great for first-time visitors, but a lot of other places feed the animals. I think the river is a bit too wide for better sightings.
